No one would ‘appreciate’ Prince Andrew returning to public life: royal expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published Sep. 12, 2023

It would be “very foolhardy” for Prince Andrew to try to find his way back into public life, a royal expert has warned.

Royal Editor Russell Myers believes the UK has no appetite for the Duke of York’s return as a working member of the royal family after his catastrophic fall from grace.

The scandal-scarred royal, 63, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, has been keeping a low profile ever since his reputation suffered a brutal blow.

“We look back to the moment of the Queen having passed away as not only a monarch leaving this world, but also a family that was grieving as well and we had to be particularly sensitive to that,” Myers told Sky News Australia.

“And this was a private memorial, this was a man who had lost his mother and the family’s still coming to terms with that.”

She’s Prince Harry’s burger queen.

Meghan Markle drove herself and a friend to In-N-Out Burger in Goleta, Calif., on Sunday where they were seen picking up some delectable dishes.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was seen cruising in the front seat of her luxury Range Rover SUV, which costs $100,000+, while hitting up the fast food franchise’s drive-thru for some greasy bites.

Markle appeared completely exhilarated as she smiled big while employees handled her order.

Royal family banned from 175-year-old hunting tradition after being kicked off estate

By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published Sep. 13, 2023

The royal family has been banned from hunting on the Scottish estate near Balmoral Castle — bringing a dramatic end to their 175-year-old tradition.

Since 1852, the royals have spent time shooting, deer stalking, and fishing on the Abergeldie estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It’s a pastime that has been in the family since the Balmoral estate was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, which subsequently granted them access to the 11,500-acre plot.

But after the estate went up for sale in 2020, the new owner has ended the royal lease which means that King Charles and his family are no longer free to use it.

According to planning documents filed by Abergeldie’s new owner, Alastair Storey plans to revamp the grounds.

“For the last 175 years, the Royal family have leased the sporting rights at Abergeldie but this has now ceased, and will be actively run by the new Laird,” docs filed with Aberdeenshire council state, per The Telegraph.

“To facilitate the transformation and to effectively run the estate, new facilities will be required.”

 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were done with royals after this photo snub
By Stephanie Webber   
Published Sep. 21, 2023, 10:26 a.m. ET

Not picture perfect. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally decided to pull the plug on their senior royal roles once a certain heir photo was released by Buckingham Palace.

According to author Andrew Morton, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were taken aback when a 2020 photo of the late Queen Elizabeth II — and her heirs, the now King Charles, Prince William and Prince George — made its debut.

“The royal couple suspected that the entire institution was conspiring against them. As they saw it, the evidence was all around them. The unspoken code was straightforward: the future of the monarchy was assured, with or without Meghan and Harry,” Morton claimed in his unauthorized biography, “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.”

The photograph was taken in the Throne Room at the palace. Two days after its release, Harry and Meghan revealed that they would be officially leaving The Firm.

Good grief ... the entire institution was conspiring against them?  Paranoia much or do they both have problems; Harry dealing with the death of his mother and Markle dealing with issues with her father.  Harry's jealousy of his older brother didn't seem to be an issue until Markle entered the picture.  She over estimated Harry's royalty as far as being an heir to the throne and whined about it to him, making him very sensitive to the issue.

They decided to move to CA.  That's where they need to stay.

So I guess all Harry's angst over being nothing but a spare was all for nothing, appears he's not needed at all

Every time William and Kate had a child, Harry and Meghan were pushed further and further down in the pecking order, lol.

Correct!  He's known it would be that way all his life.  Which is why all this "spare" issue is a bunch of BS.

Meghan Markle 'considers run for office': Duchess of Sussex's name is in the frame to fill Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein's seat after senator died aged 90 (and could the White House be her ultimate aim?)

She has made no secret about her left-leaning politics and belief that women can change the world.

So it may come as no surprise that Meghan Markle's name was being bandied about in Hollywood last night as a long-shot replacement for Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Indeed, within minutes of 90-year-old Feinstein's death being announced on Friday, the Mail on Sunday was told 'phones lit up' with speculation the Duchess of Sussex could throw her hat in the ring to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.

A major Democratic donor who is close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom - who will choose Feinstein's replacement - told the MoS: 'Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.'

She has a title of nobility granted to her by the U.K., and I believe that would disqualify her; unless she wants to give it up entirely and return to being just plain Meghan Markle.

Not sure about that. This is pretty much maximum craziness. And stupidity.

I notice that Prince Williams two younger children -- who also aren't heirs -- weren't in that photo either.  Should they be "done with their family" also? 

[mountaineer]

Just goes to show how ignorant Meghan is, and how she leads Harry around by the nose. It clearly is a photo of the then-reigning monarch and her heirs, and wasn't intended to include the entire extended family.

Exactly.  It was a photo of the then-current monarch, and all of the heirs-presumptive in the direct line of inheritance as of the time of the photograph.

 Meghan Markle attends NYC World Mental Health Day event in white off-the-shoulder blazer
By Kristin Contino   
Published Oct. 10, 2023, 2:37 p.m. ET



The Sussexes are back in the Big Apple.

Meghan Markle looked chic in a white off-the-shoulder blazer and trousers as she attended a World Mental Health Day event with Prince Harry Tuesday, with the couple visiting New York for the first Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, wore a sold-out Altuzarra blazer with wide-legged white trousers and slingback heels for the forum at Hudson Yards, which was titled “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.”

The jacket — which featured a wide folded-down neckline and two buttons at the front —  brings back memories of the white off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress she wore to the 2022 Ripple of Hope Gala.

Markle wore her hair pulled up in a sleek bun, accessorizing with a gold choker necklace and hoop earrings.



As for Prince Harry, he wore a navy suit with a dress shirt and coordinating blue tie for the summit.

The panel — which was moderated by “Today” show co-host Carson Daly during the World Mental Health Day Festival hosted by Project Healthy Minds — was created to focus on “community and creating positive change for a safer online world for young people.”
